Calories: 53kcal
Ingredients
- 1 oz cut dried wakame about 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp, dry
- 3 tbsp coconut aminos
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 garlic minced
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp sesame seeds plus more for garnish
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
Instructions
- Add dried wakame to a large bowl, and add enough warm water to cover. Let this sit for 10 minutes while the seaweed plumps up and hydrates.
- Make the dressing while the wakame is soaking. Stir together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds in a bowl. Set aside.
- Drain the wakame in a fine-mesh colander, and rinse under cold running water. Use your hands to squeeze out as much liquid as you can, and transfer to a bowl.
- Add green onion to wakame, then pour in the dressing. Toss together to coat evenly.
- You can enjoy immediately, or chill until ready to serve. Garnish with more sesame seeds just before serving.
